English Explanation :
We will begin our review of "Ser" vs. "Estar" - remember both mean "to be" and are used grammatically to express "to be" just like we do in English. ( I am , you are, he/she is, we are, and they are. However, in Spanish we spice it up a bit and two of expressing " to be" - "Ser" is generally used for more long lasting descriptions or defining characteristics and "Estar" is used for more temporary states and conditions.
Here are the CONJUGATIONS and two mnemonics to help you remember when to use each
Ser
Yo soy tú eres él/ella/usted es
nosotros somos vosotros
sois ellos/ellas/ustedes son
Estar
Yo estoy tú
estás él/ella/usted esta nosotros estamos vosotros
estáis ellos/ellas/ustedes están
Here is when/how we use these: REMEMBER SER- DOCTOR and ESTAR- PLACE
SER Estar
